Going to try Linux today...........wish me luck! :P

[iamme]

I found a cool version called Knoppix that's completely on a bootable CD. No installation, just run it off the CD. I thought that was pretty cool, so I'm downloading it now and I'm going to try it out.

Here's a description:

This Linux distribution runs entirely from a bootable CD. Data on the CD is uncompressed on the fly, allowing them to fit 2 GB worth of system and programs on one CD, including a complete X server, KDE and Gnome, and large packages like OpenOffice and The Gimp. Since it runs solely off the CD, Knoppix makes an excellent portable Linux demo or system rescue disk, but its completeness makes it a good general purpose distribution as well.

You should try out gentoo, I used to use Red Hat but Gentoo is so much better IMO, no worrying about RPM dependencies or conflicts, its great.

Of course, with RH you don't have to wait 3 days for compiles to finish...:evil:

And Debian is the same thing without all the waiting for things to compile.

And you can install apt4rpm on RedHat and it'll do dependency resolution for you, just like on Debain.
